Executive and Leadership Coaching
For leaders, managers or anyone in your organisation ready to work on themselves and their career. Coaching focused on confidence, creativity, strategic thinking and leadership style. Elevate Coaching helps people navigate complexity and unlock the potential of your best asset: your people.
Redundancy Coaching
Compassionate, strategic support for individuals and businesses during restructure or transition. I help people process change, rebuild confidence and move forward positively, while supporting businesses to maintain understanding and dignity throughout the process.
Alongside this corporate work, I also collaborate with coaching consultancies, organisations and outplacement providers as an Associate Coach. I bring real leadership experience, accredited coaching credentials and a grounded, human style that clients respond to. Partnering with me means your brand is represented with professionalism, care and genuine depth.
My coaching is rooted in experience, empathy and evidence. It meets people where they are and fuels them forward with clarity, confidence and purpose.

Redundancy Support
Be talked about for the right reasons
Redundancy is inevitable. The damage isn’t.
Redundancy is a business decision and a human experience. How it is handled shapes your people’s confidence, careers and trust in your brand for years to come.
I’ve sat in those rooms — as a leader making tough calls, as someone being let go, and I now work as a certified coach helping businesses navigate it better.
Redundancy Redesigned is tailored outplacement coaching that supports individuals with clarity, care, and confidence. Because when people leave well, everyone moves forward.
With 4 x 1:1 coaching sessions and HR/Comms support built in, this programme helps people process change, regain confidence and plan their future while protecting culture and reputation.
- Support your people with respect, not just process
- Protect your reputation in tough times
- Create exits that strengthen culture, not weaken it
✨ “I was made redundant… and I was treated like a human” ✨
That’s the difference. That’s the opportunity.
